Calavo Growers (CVGW) 8-K Calavo Growers Completes Sale of Fresh Cut Business

EXHIBIT 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

On August 15, 2024, Calavo Growers, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), the Seller Parties (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement (as defined below)), F&S Produce Co., Inc., a New Jersey corporation and a co-packing partner of the Company (“F&S”) and F&S Produce West LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of F&S (“Buyer”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), whereby the Buyer (i) purchased and acquired from the applicable Seller Parties certain assets of the Seller Parties related to the prepared food business of the Seller Parties and their subsidiaries relating to the processing and packaging of fresh foods, including fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, and prepared foods, including sandwiches, salads, parfaits and ready-to-eat snack items, sold at retail and food service, but excluding the guacamole or other avocado derivative product business (the “RFG Business”), (ii) purchased and acquired from the applicable Seller Parties the RFG Business as a going concern and (iii) assumed certain specified liabilities of the Seller Parties related to the RFG Business as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Additionally, Buyer assumed leasehold interests in certain real property and related improvements leased by certain of the Seller Parties and used in the RFG Business (the “RFG Leases”), pursuant to leasehold assignment and assumption agreements and related documents between Buyer, the applicable Seller Parties who are the lessees under the RFG Leases and the applicable landlords under the RFG Leases.

Concurrently with the transaction contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Transaction”), Mid-Eastern West LLC, a California limited liability company and an affiliate of F&S, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Force 1730 Eastridge LLC, a California limited liability company and a subsidiary of the Company, to purchase the real property located at 1730 Eastridge Ave, Riverside, CA 92507 for $30,980,000.

In addition, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the Purchased Assets (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) was $52,020,000, subject to certain adjustments relating to working capital, and approved capital expenditures.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2024, presents the Company’s consolidated financial position giving pro forma effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on April 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) for the year ended October 31, 2023 presents the Company’s consolidated results of operations giving pro forma effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on November 1, 2022, except that, for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) for the years ended October 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, pro forma effect is given to the presentation of the RFG Business as discontinued operations for each year presented. The impact of interest expense in connection with the debt repayment and pay-down was not material and has not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) for the year ended October 31, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements presented below have been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements. While the historical consolidated financial statements reflect the past financial results of the Company, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are included for informational purposes only and are intended to illustrate how the Transaction might have affected the historical consolidated financial statements had it been completed at an earlier time as indicated herein. The Transaction constituted a significant disposition for purposes of Item 2.01 of Form 8-K and these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Financial Information, and include adjustments that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances and given the information available today. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the following transactions:

● The elimination of the net assets and financial performance of the RFG Business in accordance with rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

● The Company’s use of a portion of the net sale proceeds of the Transaction to make a debt repayment and pay-down.

These pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information, estimates and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable in order to reflect, on a pro forma basis, the impact of the Transaction on the Company’s historical information, and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future financial position and future results of operations and do not reflect all actions that may be taken by the Company following the closing of the Transaction. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the realization of any expected cost savings, synergies or dis-synergies as a result of the Transaction. We considered the impact of the Transition Services Agreement and determined that no further pro forma adjustments were necessary as we do not believe presenting such adjustments would enhance an understanding of the pro forma effects of the Transaction as the agreement is not expected to have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2024 or the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) for the years ended October 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021. The Company did not include the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) for the six months ended April 30, 2024, because the RFG Business was presented as discontinued operations in the historical financial statements for that period and the impact of the interest expense in connection with the debt repayment and pay-down and the Transition Services Agreement was not material.

These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with:

● the Company’s historical audited consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion of Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended October 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 filed with the SEC on January 31, 2024, December 20, 2022, and December 21, 2021, respectively; and

● the Company’s unaudited interim historical consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of April 30, 2024 and October 31, 2023, and for the three and six months ended April 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on June 10, 2024.
